this is eric, ya'll.
Here's a poem/song I wrote recently:
I Once Killed a Pastor
I once killed a pastor for giving a sermon about love,
said he didn't understand it or what was above;
maybe it's like Berlin bombed,
and maybe all that's left is a song,
and maybe it goes like this one;
maybe it sounds like this one.
The congregation, they all cried.
I told them he had to die.
Hope they comprehend
what I did with my secular hand,
taught them to believe in vacuumed skies,
the chaos of butterflies,
the purity of the first time's blood,
the fact that we don't come from mud.
I once killed a pastor for giving me a purpose.
I laid him down on earth's surface,
told him he was spinning around so fast
and that the not even the trees will last.
So he cried into the useless blades of grass
as he missed the morning's mass
and asked me to explain my song
and I said it would take too long.
